PATENT OFFICE.

SELDEN S. DEEMER, OF NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE.

ANVIL.

Application led October 3, 1923.

To all whom 'it may con/cem.

Be it known that I, SELDEN S. DEEMER, a citizen of the United States, residing in New Castle, New Castle County, Delaware,

have invented certain Improvements 'in Anvils, of which the following is a specilication.

One object of my invention is to provide an anvil with four faces, any one of which can be used by a blacksmith for certain purposes.

A further object of the invention is to provide an anvil with slots, or recesses, in which rods, or tubes, may be bent.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a broad working surface on two faces of the anvil.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. l is a perspective view of my i1nproved anvil;

Fig. 2 is a plan view;

Fig. S is a side view;

Fig. 4t is a view of one end of the anvil; and

Fig. Fig. 3.

The anvil has abroad body portion l, which provides two extended working faces 2 and 3. Extending through the body portion, from side to side, is a cylindrical hole 12, which may be used in punching or bending material.

At one end of the body portion l of the anvil is a rectangular projection 4, in the present instance, which is narrower than the body portion. In one face of this rectangular projection is a series of swaging grooves 5, which may be of any size desired. The other faces of the projection 4 are preferably plain for smithing purposes.

6 and 7 designate two horns, which are separated by a tapered throat 8 that entends into the rectangular projection et. The Working faces of the horns are flat, as in ordinary anvils, and the opposite surface of each horn is rounded, as shown in Fig. 5, providing curved walls for the throat 8. Bars, inserted in the throat, may be bent on any radii desired.

5 is a sectional view on the line 5 Serial No. 666,332.

At the opposite end of the body portion from the rectangular projection is a single projection 9, which is less in width than the body portion and is provided with a deep, transverse groove l0, having parallel sides, which can be used in bending, or punching, lfiat material. In one-half of the projection are slots il, tapered, as shown inFig. il, so as to allow clearance for punching, as these slots are used in punching holes in material. The projection 9 has a swaging groove 13. This groove is located on one side of the working face 2, opposite the swaging groove 5 in the projection 4.

The anvil can be turned readily by inserting bar in the hole 'l2 and prying the anvil over so that any face desired may be uppermost. y

In some instances, one horn of the anvil may be narrower than the other horn, or of different shape.

I claim:

l. An anvil having two opposite working faces; and 'two horns spaced apart to forni a throat.

f *n anvil harina a bodv portion: a projection on each side thereof, the working face of the body portion being of greater width than the projections; and two horns extending from one of said projections.

8. An anvil having av body portion with opposite, wide working faces; a rectangular projection at one end of the body portion and having swagng grooves in one surface; and two horns extending from the rectangular projection.

in anvil having a fina-sided body por-v tion, each side forming a working face, the body portion having a transverse hole therein and a rectangular projection at each end thereof; and two horns extending from one t of the rectangular j nojections, the other pro-A jection having a transverse slot for bending flat material, and also having tapered, longi tudinal slots therein for use in punching material.

snLDEN DEEMER.
